Re: How to automatically run some test when check-in

Thanks to those replied.

I want to try svn hooks first.

After reading the documentation, I still don't know how to get the filename
and its path of the file being committed when the post-commit hook fires.

The post-commit hook just has two arguments:

1. Repository path
2. Revision number created by the commit

You feed the repository path and revision number to "svnlook changed".

Note that many files can change in one commit.  You probably want your ssh 
command to do an update of a working copy where the tests are performed which 
will pick up all the changes.  Also note that additional commits may happen 
before earlier runs are complete - I'm not sure if these block or if your 
scripts have to deal with it.  Scheduling runs and collating the results are 
just a few of the advantages of using hudson.

You can use the svn hooks to trigger hudson or have hudson poll svn.

For maintenance, I recommend hudson polling svn rather than the svn hook
mechanism.

Just use Hudson you'll be set up in 30min as long as you have a machine with
Java 1.5+ on it to run Hudson (you don't need to be writing java software to
use Hudson)
